Not the flowers from the story below, but flowers I received from one group of students on International Women's Day, March 8th, which is the closest thing to Mother's Day here. (This is what their bouquets are like ... a bit fru-fru with all kinds of extra stuff besides the flowers. I'm so not a fru-fru person, but I love flowers! I received a bunch more red roses that day! :))So Rocky insisted that a funny I made today become a Blog moment, but really it is for Shawna! So here it is ...
It may not seem so funny to anyone who wasn't there, but Shawna said it was one of the funniest things ever (or something like that) and couldn't stop laughing. So after church today, we were just talking about Sean's experience of trying to get Shawna flowers for Mother's Day in Baku and the biggest, most beautiful bouquet he could find late last night was a few Gerber daisies that were sadly bending over at the head like his own head as I picture it with the description of the story. Anyway, during this conversation, Rocky said he has a "24-hour florist" nearby his house, but what I heard was a "24-hour forest" and I was a little confused for a number of reasons. One, because there is certainly not a forest near his house in the middle of the city. The closest thing to a forest is the little park outside next to his building. Second, why would a forest be a "24-hour" forest? Since when do other forests close? Okay, so I tend to have blonde moments sometimes if I don't think about my quick reactions like that one, especially since, if I had taken like two seconds, I would have realized the obvious fact that the context was about flowers!!! But no! I blurted out the question! Well, hopefully, that will make someone laugh.
